Definitions: Figures for gross revenue and net operating income are rounded to the nearest $500,000. Figures for revenue per lawyer, profits per partner, and partner compensation are rounded to the $5,000. Firms that tied in the rankings are listed alphabetically. In most instances, our results are based on the accounting method used by the firm; if a firm offerred us both cash- and accrual-method figures, we chose the former. Revenue figures include paralegal billings but do not include charges for disbursements. Revenue per lawyer is gross revenue divided by the number of lawyers; profits per partner is net operating income -- minus aggregate compensation for all nonequity partners. Average partner compensation is the net operating income income plus the aggregate salary of all nonequity partners. Profitability index is the ratio of profits per partner to revenue per lawyer. Firm size: For firms whose fiscal year ended between September 1, 1999, and February 28, 2000, the numbers of lawyers and partners are stated as of August 31, 1999. For firms whose fiscal year ended between March 1 and August 31, 1999, numbers are stated as of the end of the fiscal year. Some firms provided "full-time equivalent" lawyer numbers, which we rounded up to the nearest whole number. Only full equity partners are counted as partners.
Firms marked with an asterisk have more than one partnership tier or have some lawyers on fixed incomes.
